Lee Weisert (b. 1978) is a composer
of instrumental and electronic music. His recent work draws inspiration
from a wide variety of scientific disciplines and reinterprets their
respective principles into an artistic context.

His instrumental music has been
played by nationally recognized performers and ensembles, including
Steve Schick and the red fish blue fish percussion ensemble, the Callithumpian
Consort, the International Contemporary Ensemble (ICE) and the JACK
string quartet. His pieces have been performed at several music festivals
including the Summer Institute for Contemporary Performance Practice
(SICPP 2009, 2011), June in Buffalo (2008), and New Interfaces In
Musical Expression (NIME 2009, 2012).

His electronic music, composed
primarily in cSound and MAX/MSP, deals with algorithmic and chaotic
structures in 4- and 8-channel spatialization. Along with composer
Jonathon Kirk, he is a member of the Portable Acoustic Modification
Laboratory (PAML), a collaborative sound installation team. PAML's
most recent project, Cryoacoustic Orb, uses hydrophones frozen
inside several large spheres of ice to create a dense and naturally-evolving
soundscape.

Lee has degrees in music composition
from the University of Colorado (BM), California Institute of the
Arts (MM), and Northwestern University (DM). His primary composition
instructors have been James Tenney, Michael Pisaro, Jay Alan Yim,
and Chris Mercer. He is currently an assistant professor at UNC Chapel
Hill.
